WHO WE ARE

We provide the spark before Take off.

What we believe

What We Believe

Our mantra is ‘continual effort’ on behalf of our investors and companies.

We commit to people and partnerships. We strive to be practical, respectful and real. We strive to be good listeners and value-added partners and insist on an ego-free environment. We are a tight-knit group that has worked together for many years.

Our approach hinges on creativity, vision, and the patience to explore beyond the beaten path. We lead first with an investment thesis rather than just taking what the market gives us.

How we invest

HOW WE INVEST

buyout investments

We partner as a lead investor with owners and operators making valuable and innovative moves in our core verticals. We focus on the micro-cap space (sub $5M in EBITDA).

minority investments

We don’t let control-dynamics get in the way of partnering with leading managers and companies. We provide flexible equity capital and have a successful track record of partnering with operators or alongside other investors.

Our Strategy

Our approach

Thesis-driven

While we invest opportunistically, our success is driven, in part, by knowing what we are looking for before it comes along. We identify compelling sub–sectors and angles for investment and leverage our network of thought leaders and operators to support our process.

Sector-focused

Our wheelhouse is in three core verticals: healthcare services, education, and consumer products. We leverage our collective experience leading, supporting and growing companies to prepare our portfolio for its next great exit.

hands-on

We provide tailored support but are not controlling. Our goal is to catalyze great leadership and empower them to thrive, providing our companies with what they need, when they need it.
